Gyaku-zuki (逆突き) translates to 'reverse thrust.'
In karate and its variants, gyaku-zuki is the term used for reverse punch. A traditional reverse punch is a straight punch executed from a front stance, with the punching hand on the opposite side to the leading leg (e.g., left leg forward, punch with the right fist).
Alternately, gyaku-zuki can be used as the term for any punch thrown with the hand on the same side as the rear leg.
